Hello All

[PaulBlue27]

Hey my name is Paul and I started joining the IRC channel today after feeling more depressed than usual. I am 20 years old and have been on antidepressants since i was about 16. Im very insecure, unhappy, feel alone, and cannot relate with my friends about depression. They think it is all in my head and that i can just stop being depressed just like that. I've met a few of you on the IRC channel and it was a pleasure. I hope to meet more of you soon

[hey-its-ok]

Hi Paul, nice to have you in our forum. I don't chat on the irc, but i just hang around the forums. You will find that here there will be people that will understand why and how you feel the way you do.

Hope to continue seeing you around, take care and all the best!

I find psychatrists dont do much as making you feel better. Well mine doesnt anyway.. He just puts me right on the scale saying you look like you gained weight and I feel depressed throughout the whole day. I want to know what psychatrist you have kyle, because your lucky to find a good one. Anyway, counselors are a more better help for me. There is always that right type of 'medicine' that will work, you just have to search for it.

Welcome Kyle
